But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ephesians 4:7 SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: 2 Thessalonians 1 Let each one of us look to himself, for we shall each give account of the benefits that God has bestowed upon us (Luke 16:2). The more a person has received, the more he will be blamed if he does not discharge his duty in serving his neighbors. The purpose of God???s gifts is to edify one another so that God???s temple may grow among us and be further built until it reaches full perfection.
